PROJECTS

AIRobots is a new Dutch Robotics project aimed at developing robots that can perform as well in the air as they do on land. The robots are designed to be user friendly and the operator ideally receives visual and force feedback from the robot to control…

The ALIZ-E is a Dutch Robotics project aimed at the elderly and children. Developers hope to create a robot that can communicate for longer periods of time with humans. The project will use the Aldebaran Nao robot as an implementation platform. One goal…

Best Practice In Robotics, or BRICS, has a goal of formalizing robotics standards to help promote best robotics practices and speed development. To accomplish this, BRICS will provide the necessary tools, models and libraries. Standardization will make…

The CompanionAble project is a Robotics project aimed at developing an affordable robotics home companion for the elderly. This robot, Hector, can the elderly can live semi-independently at home for as long as possible. It responds when the user calls…

A partnership between 10 different countries, CROPS is a robotics project based in the Netherlands. The goal is to create robots that can replace human labor in agriculture, reducing costs while increasing profits and crop production. It will enable…

DARIUS aims at addressing the different aspects related to the application of the unmanned robot systems in SAR operations. The different objectives of this project will be tested on realistic scenarios.

Within the Delfi program, DelFFi is the third satellite project. The project aims at utilizing innovative concepts, reliable methodologies and modern technologies to support the QB50 mission, which is a unique mission based on a global network of fifty…

ECHORD++ (European Clearing House for Open Robotics Development) is a robotics project, which is funded by the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7). Their aim is to advance the field of robotics by facilitating cooperation between academia…

The Robotics project Evryon aims to design wearable robotic suits (exoskeletons) to help the elderly in restoring mobility and strength for those who lack them. These suits will be power efficient and lightweight and will be tested on elderly people to…

NIFTi is a Robotics project that focuses on ways to make robots capable of bearing humans in mind while performing. The Robotics project is expected to lead to an integrated account of how natural human-robot teaming can become a reality.

RoboEarth is a project involving European universities and companies like TU Eindhoven and Phillips. The goal is to pave the way for rapid advances in machine cognition and behavior, by developing a world wide web for robots so they can share and learn…

RUBICON or the Robotic Ubiquitous Cognitive Network is a Robotics project that aims at creating a self-learning robotic ecology. It focuses on creating an ecology that will be capable of teaching itself about the environment while improving strategies…

SUNRISE is a robotics project involving the research and development of acoustic based networks to support sub-surface communications and develop autonomous aquatic Swarm robots that can interact and cooperate.

TIRAMISU is an important robotics project with the goal of developing tools that can help establish peace, ensure national along with regional security, prevent conflict, and promote social and economic rehabilitation.

The Robotics project Viactors has a goal to develop a robot that can use actuators to function very similar to a human. Because of this project, the idea of having robots do dangerous jobs with the same results might come true in the near future.
